Alexandra Burke!

on Friday, February 24, 2012


Singer Alexandra Burke is now the new owner of Vivid stationery!


We were given the opportunity to give out sets of our stationery to a couple of stars who are going on the ITV programme That Sunday Night Show and we are delighted to share that Alexandra is the first of our recipiants!


We love Alexandra's Bad Boys pop track and are super excited by the concept of her sending our retro cards to one of her hot boys! Pretty awesome, right?


Be sure to tune in to the show this Sunday at 10pm where she will be on with comedians Kevin Bridges and Frank Skinner...what a great line up :)
We will update you with who the second lucky celeb is next week...
In the meantime, you can grab your very own set here. Get 'em before they're gone!


Andy Warhol's Polaroids

on Thursday, February 23, 2012


Wow.
These portraits of Debbie Harry and Liza Minelli were taken in the 70s by pop art father Andy Warhol. Ever wondered what he used to capture such stunning images? A Polaroid camera of course!


Yup, using a Polaroid Big Shot, Warhol snapped these iconic women and used the images to create his stunning silkscreen prints. It just goes to show that it's all in the eye and not in the equipment...


This year celebrates the 25th anniversary of his death, and it's not hard to see why his work is so iconic. Where would the art world be without his Marilyn paintings? Or his Campbell Soup Cans? Having studied Warhol since I was a young teen, I have to admit that his work has inspired me through many creative droughts. If you are ever stuck on what to make, just sit back and think: What Would Warhol Do?


Experiment, make a mess, eat your lunch and turn it into art.

Do something 'Warhol' today to celebrate his influence on the world as we know it.
Warhol's Polaroid images will be exhibited in the Danziger Gallery in New York.
If you can't make it there, learn more about the man himself here.


Pancake Day Inspiration!

on Monday, February 20, 2012


It's Pancake Day tomorrow and we can't wait!
Who doesn't love an excuse to gorge on pancakes and maple syrup all day long without anyone raising an eyebrow? On top of that, look at how much fun you can have with them!


We are big fan's of Jim's Pancakes blog.
Aren't they the most incredible pancakes you have ever seen?
He is some kind of batter king!


I would almost say they look too good to eat, but I as I am salivating just looking at the pictures I doubt I would even have the chance to take a picture before stuffing these in my face!


Well done to genius Jim for spoiling us and your super cute daughter
Your pancake creations are flippin fantastic ;)
Be sure to drop by Jim's site and spread the love...


Happy Baking everyone!
